Default Ceramic coat pics

Just picked her up from getting ceramic’d 😍

I get this done to keep my car looking beautiful (and kind of wet) for a long time. The guys applied a 5year coat of Gtechniq light serum. They buffed all the black pieces and corrected all the swirl marks that came from the dealer. This car now looks better than it did brand new when I picked it up a couple months ago! 🔥

They were actually supposed to tint the front windows too but there was a little mix up.

I’ll include a pic of the invoice too because I’m sure someone will be asking 👍🏻

Out of curiosity why did you do PPF on the rear guard only?

I wasn’t planning to but they called me while they were working on it and said they buffed out a bunch of superficial scratches in that location. They recommended I have it done to prevent the scratches from coming back. They said maybe it was from loading the trunk with groceries etc but I’m pretty sure it got scratched up from my dog jumping in and out!

Looks great! I always have my cars ceramic coated, it just makes cleaning them so much easier. I had mine done using Modesta BC-08 after having the paint corrected. This also turned out to be the most expensive part of the process. They really scratch these things up prior to delivery!

Looks beautiful! I had our black Defender ceramic coated when new and it still looks great 2 years and 34K miles later. Best part is being able to wash it then just blow away the excess water with a leaf blower. Pretty much eliminates the swirl marks from washing and chamois drying that build up on a dark colored vehicle. Just added a navy blue CX-5 to the family motor pool and I'm going to spend the $1500 to have that ceramic coated as well.

I went full PPF and ceramic due to a custom paint job etc, and it's absurdly convenient. Quick spray, a wipe, and showroom finish. Highly recommended.

Curious, why did you go for the Light versus the Ultra Serum?
